Sharknado 4: The Forth Awakens (2016)
IMDb plot summary: Fin, his family and the cosmos have been blissfully sharknado-free in the five years since the most recent attack, but now sharks and tornadoes are being whipped up in unexpected ways and places.
Directed by Anthony C. Ferrante. Starring Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Masiela Lusha, and Cody Linley.
I watched the first Sharknado several years ago and found it decently enjoyable, if not as funny as other people found it. There needs to be a bit more earnestness involved in liking a so-bad-it's-good movie for its badness, and more jokes involved for it to be an actually-good-and-funny movie. I never saw parts two and three, but having seen part four, I don't really feel an urge to go back and watch them. This installment leans heavily on the tongue-in-cheek but without actually incorporating humor so much as just calling everything a "[random item]nado" and frequently quoting other, better, movies. It's mostly just... loud, both visually and auditorily. I don't even think it would be fun to snark with a group, there's too much happening the whole time and it's very distracting. So... not inspired to hop back into this franchise.
How it entered my Flickchart:
Sharknado 4 < Nowhere Boy
Sharknado 4 < The In-Laws
Sharknado 4 < The Yellow Handkerchief
Sharknado 4 > Yours, Mine & Ours (2005)
Sharknado 4 < Clash of the Titans (1981)
Sharknado 4 > Bright Eyes
Sharknado 4 > Celebrity
Sharknado 4 < Frida
Sharknado 4 < Three Guys Named Mike
Sharknado 4 > Sahara (2017)
Sharknado 4 > A Cinderella Story
Sharknado 4 > If Only
Final spot: #2605 out of 2856.
